India (forearm/wrist) will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

India suffered a left wrist/forearm contusion when he was struck by a pitch in the third inning of Saturday's 4-2 loss, but he apparently made enough progress overnight to rejoin the lineup for the series finale. With India occupying the DH spot, the Royals will have Adam Frazier pick up a start at the keystone.

India was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit on the elbow by a pitch, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

India was able to run for himself and play defense after taking a 95-mph fastball off his left elbow in the third inning, but he was lifted for a pinch hitter when it was his turn to hit again in the fifth. The Royals will take a closer look at him to determine the severity of the injury, but the fact that he initially remained in the game suggests the damage isn't severe.

India went 1-for-5 with a double and a run in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays.

India returned Friday from a one-game absence due to a sore shoulder. He got on base in the third inning on a double and was brought home when Bobby Witt smacked a three-run homer off Kevin Gausman. India has struggled at the plate in 12 games since the All-Star break, going 7-for-46 (.152) with eight runs, four doubles, one homer and eight RBI.

India (shoulder) is leading off and starting at second base in Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

India went 1-for-5 with a three-run, walk-off home run in a 5-3 extra-inning win over the Guardians in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

India connected for a three-run blast off Emmanuel Clase in the 10th inning of the day game. In the nightcap, India went a modest 1-for-4. He's hit safely in nine of his last 14 games, going 13-for-55 (.236) in that span, though he remains the Royals' main leadoff hitter. Overall, the second baseman has a .242/.322/.344 slash line with five homers, 30 RBI, 44 runs scored and no stolen bases through 97 contests this season.

India is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

India appears to be getting a routine day off for the matinee contest after he had started in each of the Royals' last 30 games. Adam Frazier will replace India at second base and atop the batting order in the series finale in Chicago.

India went 4-for-5 with a double, one RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

India was a thorn in the Dodgers' side all game, scoring in the third, fifth and seventh innings. The 28-year-old has had an uneven stretch over his past 10 games, going hitless five times but also notching three multi-hit efforts. For the season, he's slashing .246/.321/.343 with four home runs, 23 RBI and 32 runs scored across 324 plate appearances.

India went 3-for-5 with a double and a three-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

His fifth-inning shot off Nick Pivetta gave the Royals a 4-0 lead. It was India's fourth homer of the season, and three of them have come in his last 15 games -- a stretch in which the 28-year-old super-utility player is slashing .279/.308/.475 with nine RBI and 10 runs despite suffering a partial shoulder dislocation a week ago.

India (shoulder) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

India suffered a left shoulder subluxation during this past Friday's game against the Athletics and sat out the following two contests. However, he feels well enough to give it a go for the Royals in Tuesday's series opener in Texas.
